Our tour guide Big Dave was awesome!! If you ever do one of the tours and you get him, be prepared for a lot of fun. He tells you histories of each place as well as the trees that only grow in Nevada!! He has a really great question for you on the way back but he won't give you the answer!! You have to guess, so make sure you pay attention on the drive over to the Canyon!! I hope you have as much fun as we did!!

Big Dave was absolutely fantastic in taking us to the amazing Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and bringing us back safe and sound! Driving and chatting for that long is no small task, but he handled it with ease. He shared some fun facts, jokes, and even answered my silly questions with a smile. There were plenty of snacks, the temperature inside the van was just right, and I felt completely safe the whole time. Max Tours really nailed this, and I’m so grateful they helped make my birthday so memorable. Wishing you all the best!

The National Parks on this 3 day MaxTour to the Grand Canyon were spectacular! Our trip leader, Jim, kept everything moving smoothly. Each day was packed with activity, and Jim was always helpful and considerate. We were thrilled with all we saw and did on this tour with Jim.

We were very happy with our tour to Grand Canyon with stops at Hoover Dam, Vegas sign and Seven mountains. David was our tour guide and he was very prompt, friendly, clear at explaining and setting expectations and in general very helpful. I loved that he would take pictures for my daughter and I the whole time and appreciate his recommendations. Thank you for giving us a fun day and I'm very glad we weren't on one of those big busses! It's worth the extra cost to go with a smaller tour!
